Gary Neville says Liz Truss is ‘taking the mick’ with ‘immoral’ tax cuts for rich

He also axed the cap on bankers' bonuses and added restrictions to the welfare system, arguing that tax cuts are “central to solving the riddle of growth”.

Neville has now become the latest figure to criticise the mini-budget, labelling the plans "immoral" and accusing Liz Truss and the Tories of "taking the mickey" out of the British public.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, he declared that Keir Starmer as prime minister would be “a change that cannot come quick enough”. He told the publication: “People are struggling to pay their energy bills. I don't know any person on more than £150,000 a year that will think it's the right thing to do to basically give us more money. “They want better public services, better health, education, doctor waiting times to come down.” Neville is set to appear alongside Starmer and Shadow Culture Secretary Lucy Powell at the conference in Liverpool, and will tell those present that "this is the time now to get behind Keir 100 per cent." But he maintains that he is "not interested in a career in politics" and would rather be a "loose cannon on the outside." “It's immoral to think at this moment in time, tax cuts should be given to the wealthy when people are so nervous and desperate,” he said. “The reason I'm there is to highlight with my voice that it’s just wrong. Moving on to Kwasi Kwarteng, the 47-year-old labelled him “the guy who woke up last week and laughed at the Queen’s funeral on Monday, then went and removed the cap on bankers’ bonuses on Thursday, laughing at the whole country." He added: These guys are taking the absolute mickey out of us.” On Monday, the pound has crashed since Kwarteng's mini-budget last week, and on Monday it reached an all-time low against the dollar. https://twitter.com/PaulBrandITV/status/1574276501184430080   If sterling is low compared to the dollar then the price of commodities which are purchased in dollars internationally, such as oil and gas, will rise here in the UK. There are fears that inflation will remain high and some are expecting the Bank of England to raise interest rates even more to combat this.
